Line of Sight PodcastFrom Communist Romania to cutting-edge innovation: Andrei Iancu’s entrepreneurial journeyAndrei Iancu — Founder & CEO of Halo Industries
Growing up in Communist Romania and earning a bachelor’s in aerospace, aeronautical, and astronautical engineering at Iowa State University, Andrei Iancu had no concept of entrepreneurship. That all changed at Stanford, where he earned a PhD in mechanical engineering and became inspired to start a company and make a meaningful impact on the world. Drawing on his work in a Stanford research lab, he founded Halo Industries, which creates novel laser-based systems for materials fabrication to help manufacturers drastically reduce waste, improve quality, and enable next-generation technologies.

Clause 8Ex-USPTO GC Nick Matich on Rulemaking & the PTABUSPTO Director Kathi Vidal’s decision to issue the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) is the latest major controversy surrounding the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). The American Invents Act (AIA) created the PTAB to supposedly provide a cheaper, faster alternative to district court patent litigation. However, the PTAB quickly gained a reputation for being a patent “death squad” that allows defendants to repeatedly challenge the same patents until those patents are invalidated. During the last administration, former USPTO Director Andrei Iancu tried to correct that by limiting when patents could be challenged at the PTAB. B...2023-07-1459 min

If the WTO adopts the waiver, countries could refuse to issue and protect IP rights for those technologies.Some argue that the waiver is a necessary measure that would give a boost to the global fight against COVID-19, but others contend it would do little to help defeat the current pandemic and could hinder...2022-01-121h 07

In March 2019, the USPTO took a step in that direction with its pilot program for motion to amend practice. An eligible patent owner who chooses to take advantage of the pilot program can receive valuable preliminary guidance from the Board on its motion to amend, and, if desired, can file a revised motion to amend based on that feedback. Eighteen months after the pilot program’s launch, only a hand...2021-07-1200 min
